We are thrilled to announce this year’s Global Vision Award will be presented to Edafe Okporo. Edafe is a gay refugee from Nigeria who was granted asylum. In Nigeria, he was a victim of mob violence due to his work advocating for LGBTQ access to health care. Edafe is now a global gay rights activist and the executive director of the RDJ Refugee Shelter in Harlem, which helps refugees transition to life in America. He is also a David Prize 2020 winner, an author of the forthcoming book ASYLUM, a Memoir & Manifesto by Simon and Schuster, and founder of The Pont.
